My dog is 5 1/2 no symptoms ever and when we put her on low protein diet her bats went to 26 so since this dog has no symptoms i would hold off on this test personall just as i chose to do with my dog. Now if your dog has symptoms like seizures head pressing, picky eater, etc then by all means but that number is just slightly over 100 and i would question it myself as i did with my vets. Keep in mind many vets do not know alot about liver shunts so they tend to jump the gun on tests such as this
